Pure Barre, the fastest, most effective way for women to change the shape of their bodies, today announced the Grand Opening of its newest location in Peters Township. The new franchise studio, located at 4000 Washington Road Suite 108, McMurray, PA, is the second studio to be opened by Melissa Evancic and is holding its Grand Opening “Barre-ty” on Friday, April 11, 2014 from 6-9 p.m.

The celebratory evening will include cocktails, hor d’oeuvres, raffles, exclusive offers and a runway show featuring spring and summer fitness apparel collections from Karma, Splits 59 and Beyond Yoga.

The ballet barre workout has exploded in popularity since its inception in 2001. Focusing on the areas of the body women struggle with the most, Pure Barre lifts the seat, tones the thighs and upper body, and creates the long and lean muscles of a dancer through small isometric movements centered around a ballet barre. Since it began franchising in 2009, more than 100 Pure Barre studios have opened nationwide.

“We are thrilled about opening our newest location in Peters Township and bring the excitement and results of Pure Barre to its residents,” said Carrie Dorr, Founder & Chief Concept Officer of Pure Barre. “The continued growth of Pure Barre studios across the country is a testament to the workout’s ability to quickly transform women’s bodies, and we couldn’t be happier to bring this experience to Peters Township.”

Classes are already in session at the new Pure Barre studio, which will operate seven days a week with classes offered throughout the day. Registering for a class is simple, and can be done in person, over the phone, by logging on to http://purebarre.com/locations/ and choosing your studio of choice or by downloading the Pure Barre App on your smartphone.

Pure Barre is the fastest, most effective workout on the market for women looking to transform their body and tone their abs, arms, butt and thighs.

We have all heard of Elf on the Shelf for Christmas, now there is an adorable family tradition for Easter called Lollipop Seeds. I was sent a copy of The Lollipop Seeds that Sprout for Kind Deeds to review with my family. I absolutely love this new Easter tradition.

This is a great tradition that teaches children the importance of doing something nice for others. The tradition is every time your child does something nice, whether it be sharing their toys or helping their parents around the house, they get to plant a seed in the lollipop garden. I have been writing down when my own kids do something nice and then about a week before Easter they will go out and plant the seeds that they have earned. I also told my kids that each time they do something that is not nice or fight with each other they get a seed taken off of them.

It has been working, I have four boys and they are determined to have more lollipops grow than their brothers so if they get one taken off of them they work extra hard to earn another one. They are very excited to plant their seeds the week of Easter. They know that when the Easter Bunny comes he will sprinkle some magic on the seeds and when the kids wake up Easter morning their lollipop garden will be in full bloom and they will be able to go out and pick their lollipops.

This is the legend of the lollipop seeds. Check out the website http://lollipop-seeds.com for more information and to order your own copy. If you order before April 15 2014 you will have your book before Easter. Also like their Facebook Page.

Acording to legend, the tradition of Lollipop Seeds goes back hundreds of years. But, it was only recently re-discovered by the Easter Bunny when he asked his Grandma about the meaning behind other Easter traditions like eggs and candy.

Once the Easter Bunny learned of the Lollipop Seeds tradition, he couldn’t wait to hop on it and start delivering them to kids everywhere.

The magic of the seeds lies in the heart of the child who plants them. They sprout into lollipops on Easter morning, not by water or sun, but by kindness instead.
